ARMED WITH RIFLES AND R~EvOLYERs.
CHICAGO, November 1l.-At six o'clock
this morning 300 policemen, armed with
rifles, ~bayonets, revolvers, and full cart
ridge boxes. are IN duty at the Jail. Chief
ESersold is in command in person, his
aides being Captains Buckley, Hubbard
and Setback. The battalion OF three
companies of police that has been quarter
ed in the Jail and Criminal Court building
since the new orders went into force will
do duty inside those buildings to-day.
The officers in command have been in
structed how to dispose of their men, a de
tail having been made for every advanta-
geous post. In addition to the battalion
on the Inside, there will be q force o. the
outside, composed ola company from each
Of the five precincts, commanded by a
lieutenant and three companies from the
central detail. This force will be armed
with rifles, and will surround the entire
block in which the Jail is situated which,
in addition to the cordOns of police, will
be inclosed by ropes. The lieutenants
have bsen ordered to station their COM
panieS in open order with loaded pieces,
and fixed bayonets, and have been es-
p~ecially instructed to hold their positions
no matter what happens until they receive
orders from their superior officers. The
objects of the orders are these; The men
will he held in open order so that if they
are attacked especially with bombs, the
execution will not be so great, while at
the same time the police will be able to re-
turn the fire with greater effect and less
danger to themselves, and in case Of attack
they will not break but hold their posi-
tions until reinforced or called back. A
police official said, in speaking OF
the arrangements that the chief dsires in
case Of attack was to keep the police from be
ing thrown into confusion. II this could
he prevented they need not fear any riot.
The entire force will be held in the posi-
| ton described until as late in the day as
NAV he though, wise. The members OF the
police department not on duty at the Jail
| will be held il reserve at the various sta
tions in readiness TO mass at any point at a
moments notice, except a very few who
viii be out On post. The detectives will
be stationed outside the police lines, and
will mingle with the crowd. Lieutenant
Steele viii be there to look after MS men.
Acted Wisely.
CHICAGO, November 1.-THE NerS this
mornirg says editorially: Gov. Oglesby
has acted wisely in committing the SEN
fences OF the only two wageworkers among
the Condemned Anarchists. Fielder, a
hard working lahCripg man, and Schwah,
n hired wti.sr. the victims circumstances
! rattle; than the voluntary agents OF crime,
are tie Only ones OF the lot who earned
their daily bread. The rest were profess
sional ~agitatOrs, or, like Neebe, parasites
upon the community. As they have sown
40 they reap. They have detied the law
and attacked the public peace and security.
As q matter of self-preservatiOn it becomes
necessary to make an example Of them.
And Fielden and Schwab in the Joliet
peniteutiary will be no less effective as ex-
amples than the memories Of Spies, Engel,
Fischer and Parsons expiating their crimes
upon the scaflOld."
